The chorus of dozens upon dozens of hostiles shrieking in pain and terror, their footsteps frantically tapping along to the rate of blaster fire; Then they finally grow silent, until the song begins again.

Normally I’d 100% this. But for me I have to have it off for game play (Enemy Footsteps), as well as when I’m recording and want to edit/upload it’s easier for me to add music without having to scrub the entire audio file.

Please don't laugh...
at least for the moment it is this one since I change everyday based on my mood.
Otherwise I'm mostly listening to nightcore, anime music/cute things or music you would listen when hitting the gym, I mostly need high beats per minutes or music that pumps you up.
(I swear I have normal music taste when I'm not playing)

@ResistanceRodian ... Oh absolutely a Q.O.T.S.A. fan. Back in my Half-Life days and this gem of an expansion.Q.O.S.T.A. debut self titled album was always in the background... or "Q.O.S.T.A. Beta"... KYUSS for sure was playing.

@Dash right there with you, and what keeps me going to Battlefield... they can deny all they want that they stole Terminator 2's theme... but they can't deny its strongly similar. Either way I'm glad it exists, because no other Video Game's Theme has got me more jack'd to play over the years. This year even more so.

@Important_info101 just from my own personal preference music playing in the background (or sometimes at the same level) helps with your gameplay. It keeps your confidence up while also keeping your pulse down. I used to play this gem's game mode "Team Leader" competitively:
All the matches I played with "GZA - Liquid Swords" album playing in the background I played way better. I could still hear teammates and gun fire, but the piano beats in pretty much all of the tracks kept me in the right frame of mind. You know the map, you know the attack angles, you know the lanes... you just need to keep your cool and apprehension down. Music helps quite a bit.

I havent played competitively in like 8 years now, but still love to game with music going on in the background when I solo queue, or evenings catching up with friends. I always make sure it's not too loud so friends dont hear it on mic, and usually that's the right volume to hear ingame sounds.

Just the other week I was playing BLAST on Mos Eisley and I went 31-0 as a Specialist, and I didnt even realize it. Wasnt try Harding or anything was just listening to this Instrumental Version of "Jimmy James" on repeat. Kind of got lost in the map and music... it was a nice surprise.
